If you're going to do it then the M57 cars are a good shout. 325/330/335d all had them, just only the early ones. All 335ds are M57 in the E9x.
Epic engines though.
You're f*cking nuts.
I'm low key glad you have this now though, you'll learn all about it and then I can pilfer you for info when mine breaks. Win/Win.
You NEED XHP, as you mentioned. I had the box serviced first, new sleeve and full fluids too, then flashed the tune with that link you sent me...
I've been using mine for Strava more recently rather than taking my iPhone out too. Mainly because it's the Max and is bulky AF.
Really impressed with the functionality though, I'm not sure if the non-cellular ones can do it (do they all have GPS?) but it's been really good on its own.
Incredible fun but you do take a risk on TF sessions. I was always pretty lucky and also never really pushed fully.
Avoid the CarFrietag weekend like the plague if you're going, there are more bellends than ever on track then.
Pistenklaus is amazing too, get steak on a stone. Pinnochios in...
Looks great now. They're a bigger car to wash than they look, I know how you feel there.
Get the LCI track sorted at the rear with some spacers and you're away. Bargain.
That's absolutely stunning now. I'd be after a tidier set of mats to complete the interior, some nice subtle black ones/OE ones.
Agreed on the silver wheels too, it'd look perfect then!
The way it dives and squirms under braking really made me pucker just watching it! I'm surprised tbh.
The issue is, if you go down the rabbit hole of making it better for 1%, you'll hate it for 99%. I did the same with my Clio.
Maybe just seen how the LSD goes and potentially just uprated...
Just buy a new badge imo, they're cheap enough and will look nice and crispy. The correct spacing is all set as well.
I need to fit my new boot roundel too, it's got worse over the winter.
Lovely. I agree on the OE Pro Nav dash/screen. it looks much nicer than these Chinese retrofit kits IMO.
I don't use the Nav on mine, even with the 2018 map flash. I just use Waze on my phone and a dash mount. Saving the iDrive for Spotify.
